           Summary: [Qt] Make sure that the WebView in flickable mode
                    sends events to the page rather than controlling the
                    viewport with it
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)

        OS/Version: Unspecified

A workstation without a touch device should be able to use the WebView in flickable mode and be able to scroll with the wheel, see scrollbars in a a desktop WebView component. It should also be able to select text and click links without touch adjustment kicking in and no tap highlighting should be shown.

A workstation having both a touch device and a mouse should be able to select text with the mouse and flick the view with the touch device. Touch enabled web pages like Google maps should be able to take advantage of the touch device too.

We should set the correct behavior before we release 5.0 to make sure that we don't have to change it afterward.

Right now the only change that seems to be needed for this is removing QQuickWebViewFlickablePrivate::handleMouseEvent.
The only problem would be with touch screens on OSes sending both touch and mouse events (if that still exist). We have to test it properly.
